Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. The cold and snow of winter rì have melted, and although the northwest wind still carries a biting chill, in some places, the chūn meaning is gradually revealed. The more flexible water, the tender buds of the branches, have clearly told people the departure of winter.

Although the northwest is a bitter cold place, the chūn day is arguably the best time of the year - albeit a little shorter.

Most of the eve work in the City of Wonders has been completed, and the population of the new city has now reached 100,000. And the original city of Gilliat has almost been emptied.

The new capital city is located on the shores of Loulan Lake, where there is a rare fertile land in the whole northwest, and it is located on a major transportation artery, and it is closer to the water source, and after a series of preferential decrees by Duke Du Wei, the city of miracles in the days after Chūn is even more vibrant.

There are long queues almost every day in the department in charge of population migration, and people from all over the province of Dessa, even if they don't plan to actually move, will choose to do so after the snow melts and the roads are clear. Come and see for yourself this majestic city that was built in a few months.

Just ten miles outside Loulan City, a new military camp has been built, Du Wei's Tulip Family First Regimental has been formed, this army of 20,000 people is based on the 4,000 rebels as the skeleton, plus a group of recruits, and later, in order to solve the problem of soldiers, Du Wei sent people to Daer City again. He bought off the Videro commander, and in a few months before and after, he brought two thousand pairs of prisoners

Although Biedro is unsuccessful in officialdom, he still has absolute authority in Big Ear City. He only had to put two random strokes on the list of these prisoners, and only said that they died of illness or died of exhaustion on the way to escort.

And in the end, because the number of more than 2,000 people was inevitably a little too large, Biedro simply reported that there was a plague in the city of Big Ears, and everyone who sold it to Du Wei simply died in the name of the plague.

The kind of place in Big Ear City, the above will not care, and I heard that there is a plague, who would want to go to that kind of place to check? More and more bold than Edro , even the group of prisoners who were about to arrive in this year's chūn season are still on the way to be escorted, and before they arrived in Big Ear City, they have already been "pre-sold" to Du Wei.

For these prisoners, Du Wei promised to let them serve for three years, and after three years, he would give them the body of zìyóu, and if they had merit, they would also be rewarded with land! As long as those prisoners have a glimmer of hope, they can still get their own land - although most of the land in the northwest is barren, it is real land after all!

Now in Du Wei's first regiment of the Tulip family, there are 4,000 rebels, plus 2,000 prisoners, and more than 10,000 recruited recruits. Among them, in addition to the four thousand rebels who were originally regular ace troops, the combat effectiveness of the two thousand prisoners. It's even much higher than the average recruit.

This is also natural, after all, Du Wei spent money to go, and the people selected in Big Ear City are the strongest young people, and most of the backgrounds have been checked (the revelation does not need to be checked, since he was assigned to the ghost place in Big Ear City, most of them have no background, and those with backgrounds have already been rescued)

Just like Du Wei said, these prisoners, who were already desperate, were really willing to try their best to catch them after seeing a glimmer of hope! Therefore, during the training, these people were extremely willing to endure hardships. In just half a year, it has already been quite a bit of a shape. Even from the perspective of Robert Knight, he thinks that although these people have not yet reached the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Main Battle Legion, they are not much worse than those ordinary local garrisons.

In the past few months, General Magdodoro of the Northwest Army sent people to bring money twice, the first time Du Wei once again used the word "drag" to fool the other party, and the second time, the other party came again, and his attitude was much tougher. Du Wei considered that he did not have the capital to turn his face with the Northwest Army now, and it was about to be the annual chūn season cāo performance of the Emperor ** team, and the Northwest Army was mobilized on a large scale, and he had to take precautions. In the end, he simply compromised, spent money to buy peace, and handed over 50,000 gold coins for military expenses, so that those guys from the Northwest Army were beaten away.

Compared to a complete infantry regiment that had already been formed, the number of cavalry was much smaller. After all, good cavalry is more difficult to train than infantry, and although the people in the northwest are fierce, Longbottom is extremely strict with the selection criteria for his subordinates. So far, Du Wei had only a cavalry regiment of 3,000 men in his hands, half of which were old subordinates recruited by General Longbottom, and half of them were new soldiers.

However, Longbottom's strict training of those recruits makes people sigh. Moreover, Longbottom assured Du Wei that although there were only 3,000 cavalry, after Longbottom's abuse of them, the combat strength of these 3,000 people could barely match the cavalry of the regular army of the empire.

In fact, at the beginning, Longbottom gathered a total of nearly 5,000 people, but this guy's training was so harsh that many people couldn't hold out until the end and retreated, and some people were kicked out by him because they couldn't meet Longbottom's requirements. And later, Longbottom actually took these thousands of people on patrol lightly, and I didn't know what she was doing mysteriously, and I knew that she would only come back after a month, and the number of people was a little smaller.

After Du Wei asked, he learned that Longbottom had actually taken these people out to "fight"! According to Longbottom's statement, "no real sword or gun has ever been done, and no bloody soldier has ever been seen, so it is useless to practice at the end of the day!" Because the ability is not cultivated by training in the barracks. Some people who are very brave in Pingrì pee their pants when they go to the battlefield, and some people who look ordinary in Pingrì can become excellent fighters when they go to the battlefield. ”

So Longbottom took these thousands of men, lightly armed, without any axle weight, and only a few days of dry rations, along the Kilimaro Mountains all the way to the northwest, through the territory of the province of Dessa, into the northwest corridor, until he ran to the desert outside the corridor, and fought a few battles with a few small groups of horse thieves, so that these recruits could get some real combat experience.

Sure enough, when they came back, the temperament of these recruits was very different, and everyone seemed to have faded away from their original youthfulness, revealing the grandeur of their points bathed in blood.

Although Longbottom led his troops harshly, he was also absolutely good to his subordinates. After they returned to the City of Miracles, Longbottom, as a general, took a group of people to visit the Jì Courtyard and brought a few troubles in the middle, which made Dardanelle, the first garrison governor of the new capital, a headache. However, Du Wei explained that as long as it is not too out of line, try to let the two hundred and five generals do it.

In the early morning, a horse-drawn carriage rushed on the road to the new capital of Loulan, surrounded by a dozen cavalry guards, skillful cāo controlling the war horses, all with serious expressions.

Du Wei sat in the carriage with the tulip badge. He received the news last night and hurriedly set off for Loulan City early in the morning.

In fact, Du Wei's ducal palace has long been relocated to the new capital, and the new ducal palace in the new capital modeled after Rollin's underwriting has become Du Wei's new home. It's just that since these rìzi, Du Wei has remained in the abandoned city of Gillard.

Gillar, the original population of this abandoned city has been completely evacuated, and Dewey did not let this empty city fall into disuse. She even spent some manpower and material resources to repair the outer city wall, and the original collapsed part was rebuilt.

In the early Duvey's view, the city of Gilliar was extremely inappropriate as a capital because of its remote location against the backdrop of the Kilimaro Mountains. Unable to cover the entire province of Dessa. But this remote city has other effects for Du Wei!

After the last group of residents moved out a month earlier, Du Wei ordered the entire city to be locked down, and then there was a big construction in the city!

Because, in Dewey's plan, this geography is remote. And the extremely safe city will be his last production base!

Of course, this is not a place to produce ordinary weapons, and there are no minerals in this broken territory in the northwest, and the lack of minerals makes it impossible for Du Wei to manufacture his own weapons here on a large scale. But...... Du Wei has a lot of other things to make! Some secret weapons that he does not want to expose for the time being, and he will not be seen!

And what could be better to be a production factory than an empty city?

The original city of Gillard is broken, after all, it is also a city! All the living facilities are extremely complete, and the city wall repaired on the periphery is the best defense, as long as the city wall is guarded, no spy or spy will want to enter or exit.

And people in the city don't need to go in and out. The city has perfect or even complete facilities, wells, housing, and even Du Wei has opened up a vacant land as farmland, so that the people in it can live completely self-sufficient!

And this abandoned city, now the production base, Du Wei completely handed over to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Seth, two geniuses of magical invention.

Later, thousands of slaves were bought from the city of Big Ears, including men and women, old and young. Du Wei had only one promise to these people: to work in the city for five years, that is, zìyóu! and after zìyóu, he would get his own land!

And these people went from being slaves to workers in Dewey's production base.

To the horror and surprise of these workers, they had expected to be subjected to extremely heavy labor...... Many prisoners died under this heavy labor. But at the production base in Ciudad Gillar, the work is far less hard than expected!

They even have very comfortable accommodation (the original residents have left behind large areas of empty houses) with good food and plenty of food. Even Du Wei ordered that after these people get up every morning, they can rest until the evening and at noon.

And the content of the work is not too heavy, just a little weird...... In the few workshops built in the city, they fused many medicinal herbs and powders that they did not know according to the orders of Lord Soljak, and then produced them in large quantities......

Of course, these people didn't know that the things that were made with various unknown potions were none other than the invention of Lord Solyakos, the "Magic Fire Elemental", which was the kind of gunpowder that Du Wei relied on.

The people managed by Lord Seth had an even more bizarre job, and they were proud of the fact that they had carved out a piece of land in the city and planted all kinds of trees, and Lord Set had taught them how to graft and plant...... Then some people who know how to craft from the prisoners will carry out the next process...... Carve!

In this production base, the rules are not too strict, and food and rest and safety are guaranteed, but Du Wei gave a strict order: no one should leave the city!

During this time, there was only one guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead and wanted to escape secretly, but he was caught by the soldiers before he reached the city gate, and then Du Wei was ruthless and broke his two legs in public.

"I can give you hope...... But you can take your lives at any time!" Du Wei declared to these people, "So, in five years, you will finally remember this!"

Early this morning, Du Wei had to leave the production base, because he received news that the younger brother and sister of the Marquise Liszt had entered the province of Dessa, and according to the news from all the way, they would arrive in the City of Miracles this evening.

In view of the good relationship with the Liszt family, Du Wei, the master of the province of Dessa, of course, had to rush back to greet him properly.

In particular, she was very curious about the sister sent by the Marquise de Liszt to seduce her......
